Valleys retain the Webb-Johnson/Pascu Cup

Moonee Valley has retained the Webb-Johnson/Pascu Cup, which is an annual event between our club and Moonee Ponds to highlight men's health issues.
In the November 19 match, Moonee Valley First Eleven 4/127 accounted for Moonee Ponds, 8/126cc,  passing their total in the 29th over.
At left: Celebrating the retention of the Webb-Johnson/Pascu Cup. L-R: Back - Luke Brock, Ben Thomas, Alec McIntyre, Steve Hazelwood, Suraj Weerasinghe, Wasim Abbas and Jordon McDonald. Front - Dejan Gilevski, Jack Newman, Charles Bibby and Tom Morrissy.
The victory adds to our wins in the last two encounters for the cup, which we first played in 2020/21.
Games between Moonee Valley and Aberfeldie Park - now renamed Moonee Ponds - are played each time for the Webb-Johnson/Pascu Cup as a perpetual reminder of two loved and respected players and mates no longer with us - Heath Webb-Johnson of Moonee Valley and Gary Pascu of Aberfeldie Park.
The inscription on the cup says everything - "their passion and legacy transcends cricket and will be forever celebrated".
Both clubs had been hit hard by the loss of much-loved members to men's health issues in the recent seasons, and determined to stand up and be counted.
Moonee Valley captain Jack Newman spoke with feeling at the end of the match, and called on players and supporters from both clubs to be vigilant to any signs and to step in and look after their mates before it got too late.
Moonee Ponds batted first and were rocked by tight bowling spells, particularly Steve Hazelwood (3 wickets) and Alec McIntyre (2 wickets), before Luke Brock got us off to a flier with the bat to lead the way for Suraj Weerasinghe (34no) and Ben Thomas (21 retired hurt).

Moonee Valley cricket - junior and senior spots still available

Moonee Valley will welcome new senior and junior players for the 2022/23 season.
